I wouldn't touch those "shammy strips" bro... they may be soft but they are heavy as hell, listen to the "thud" sound they make when they bang against your cash. These types and traditional spinner car washes are fun but are not good for your paint. True they won't kill your paint but they will create small scratches in your clear coat, gives you something to do in the summer i guess. Stick to touchless washes to be safe but honestly the only good thorough is a hand wash.
Also check out this ONR stuff that is mentioned here, it's awesome! Check out some vids for proof... Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine | |

I usually wipe down my BMW with ONR and finish it off with a QD in the winter.

I did a wash last week when it was above zero, the foamy water has collected near the stormdrain and has now been frozen for the past 4 days. I wouldn't suggesting washing your car in this weather unless you do the following:
-Wash it at one of those "Self-serve" wash places (ie: the one at the end of Alexandra in Richmond) and then park it in your garage (where at last water won't turn into ice) and make sure it is as clean as you can possibly get it
- Wash with ONR like most people suggested above.

I have a 32 oz bottle of ONR and plan to buy a 128 oz jug in the future. I came across these bottle proportioners and they look very handy for measuring and pouring liquids from hard to handle jugs. Check it out... http://www.topoftheline.com/bottle-p...-measurer.html | |

ONR is fine for the body but I find the biggest thing that bugs me in the winter is the salt under the car. I usually wait for a mild day to pull out the pressure washer and give it a quick rinse.

i usually just pm him from here, and ken usually gets back to me the next following business day.
if he had to answer phones during the day i seriously doubt he could get any work done...
i've bought some stuff from him, but have never had the chance to visit his shop because maple ridge is so far away... thankful that he is willing to ship  [EDIT] meh i just noticed that the PM for his account has been disabled... i don't know why
